Doctors at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Hanoi

Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son said that experts had held an online meeting on March 11 about treatment for the patients in various hospitals in Hanoi, Danang, Hue, and HCM City. The ministry gave high regards to the preparedness and quick results in checking and tests.

Some patients have had symptoms of pneumonia but the situation was under control. The Hanoi-based National Hospital for Tropical Diseases said they were treating 11 patients and all are in good condition. They haven't had any worsening case and no one has to use invasive ventilation methods yet. The 17th patient has not had a fever for the last three days.

According to Son, there is no specific medicine for SARS-CoV-2 yet. The ministry has provided all the necessary treatments to the hospitals.

The ministry is also managing the online management and administration centre for supporting SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and treatment. The centre will connect with all major hospitals for fast data transferring and experience exchange so that difficult cases can be consulted quickly.

Son said Vietnam had basically tracked, monitored and quarantined all cases.

As of March 12, Vietnam has a total of 39 Covid-19 cases, of which 16 people have been cured and released.
